So the greatest common factor 82,42,128 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 596,418,149
2 | 596, 418, 149 |
149 | 298, 209, 149 |
2, 209, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 149 x 2 x 209 x 1 = 124564
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/124564
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 82/596,42/418,128/149 is 2/124564
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 596,418,149 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(596,418,149) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 298
GCF(596,418,149) x common factors =1 x 298 = 298
LCM(596,418,149) = ( 596 × 418 × 149 ) / 298
LCM(596,418,149) = 37120072 / 298
LCM(596,418,149) = 124564
